Armadillos

An amusing conversation on a recent road trip:

Andy: Rachel, guess what I just saw?
Rachel: What?
Andy: An armadillo.
Rachel: Cool.
Andy: Yeah, but it was dead.
Rachel: My papa shoots armadillos.
Andy: Yes, he does.
Rachel: Now there are 2 dead armadillos!

We were laughing so hard! My dad does hunt armadillos when they are tearing up his lawn. Just recently he got another one and that's why it was fresh in Rachel's mind. My brother Steven has even had the privilege of joining my dad on an armadillo hunting adventure. The hunting stories are quite humorous. I'm sure the neighbors wonder what's going on at 11 PM when they hear shots. Nothing like living in the country! And luckily no one (except for the armadillos) have been injured.

That's awesome! I love hearing what comes out of the kids' mouths, they are so darn cute! I never pictured 15 years ago that your dad would be armadillo hunting years later. That's too funny. Hope you guys are doing well! Someday we need to plan a reunion with Melissa and Jennifer...
